Good atheist videos, debates, or documentaries?
July 30, 2015 at 9:11 pm
Just wanted to start a thread for anyone who wants to share or discover some good atheist videos and such. Ill post some of my favorites.
Documentary: The Unbelievers (Great film that was one of the first I watched on my road to disbelief. It stars Richard Dawkins and Lawrence Krauss who are two of my favorite atheist activists. It is also available on Netflix)
Comedy:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oH0ReL3Cew (This is a hilarious set by Ricky Gervais poking fun at Genesis)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6omFJhKr6o (This set had me in tears. Another one by Ricky Gervais poking fun at noah's arc)
Debate:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuI4Nzc07Io (Christopher Hitchens with another amazing speech. Some of his best stuff right here)
'Sam Harris simply destroys Christianity' (The thread won't me post more than 3 videos so I just gave the title for you all to search on YouTube. It shitty quality recording but Sam harris gives a phenomenal speech at Notre Dame of all places)
Thanks! Hope you all enjoy the videos and the thread.

Almost anything from Theoretical Bullshit.
Matt Dillahunty pretty much destroying Sye Ten Brugencate in their debate.
The debate between Cal Tech physicist Sean Carroll and William Lane Craig. WLC continues to misquote and twist what another physicist, Alan Guth says, in an attempt to use Guth's words to support the WLC version of the cosmological argument. In rebuttal, Carroll plays a vid of what Guth actually says. In the vid, Guth goes on to say that WLC completely misunderstands what he [Guth] is saying, and it does not support the cosmological argument at all.
It is a joy to watch. Just proves what a intellectually dishonest clown WLC is.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
